Suitability for professional practice policy
The Â鶹´«Ã½ has a duty to ensure that a student is ‘suitable for professional practice’, where the course includes practical training in a professional role and the award of a degree from the Â鶹´«Ã½ enables a student to register with an associated Professional and/or Statutory Body (PSB).
This Â鶹´«Ã½ policy and procedure is designed to ensure that there are appropriate processes in place to consider any issues that arise across the Â鶹´«Ã½ related to a student’s suitability to practice in a professional setting. Such a policy and procedure will be required by Professional and/or Statutory Bodies (PSBs) associated with courses provided by the Â鶹´«Ã½. Some Schools have their own procedure in place that meets the requirements of the relevant PSB. This Suitability for professional practice policy and procedure (2020-21) [PDF 349.34KB] is designed for Schools that own courses that are, or will be, accredited by a PSB, where a School policy is not in place.
